Gemma Arterton has revealed that she performed her own stunts in Clash Of The Titans.

The actress told the Sunday Mail that she suffered several injuries while filming on a mountain in Tenerife but enjoyed the challenge.

"We were inside a crater in the volcano so the terrain was gravel and every time I fell over I was covered in wounds," she admitted. "But I loved doing my own stunts.

"I remember one time Sam [Worthington] and I could only do an uphill spring four times because we were so breathless."

She continued: "I spent ten days fighting giant scorpions and I loved that because they were about the size of a house. We used animatronic scorpions, rather than computer-created things on green screen, so you had a real idea of a humongous claw the size of a table reaching out at you."

Arterton added that the climate had also been difficult to cope with while she was filming.

"It was crazy being dressed in these skimpy outfits because in the mornings it was minus 2C," she said. "Then, as the day went on, it would get up to 27C. So it started off freezing cold and then it got scorching. But I could handle it."
